Famous quotes containing the word attainment:
“Whether the aim is in heaven or on earth, wisdom or wealth, the essential condition of its pursuit and attainment is always security and order.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“It is well worth the efforts of a lifetime to have attained knowledge which justifies an attack on the root of all evil—viz. the deadly atheism which asserts that because forms of evil have always existed in society, therefore they must always exist; and that the attainment of a high ideal is a hopeless chimera.”
—Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910)
“I do not pretend that language is science. It is ... an instrument for the attainment of science.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
